    This movie does not have such a strong dramatic conflict. It is more of an intellectual contest. The rhythm is very good, but it is still too long and there is no absolute climax.

    Tahei: Ow, ow, ow...

    General Rokurota Makabe: What are you up to?

    Tahei: H-he-he's gone to the town...

    General Rokurota Makabe: The town? What for?

    Tahei: To- to tell the soldiers...

    General Rokurota Makabe: Tell them what?

    Tahei: A-about the Princess, of course!

    General Rokurota Makabe: The Princess?

    Tahei: We ain't... as stupid as you think! You thought you'd fooled us! We know you... that ten ryo you had... it's from the war funds you stole! On top of that, you intend to get a reward for the Princess! We ain't gonna let you!

    General Rokurota Makabe: I was wrong to trust such scum.

    Tahei: Look who's talking- you're the scum!
